Fuck Google, Install AdNauseam

But that isn't actually going to happen. Some hardcore 0.1% of utter fucking nerds are going to do this shit and then Google will filter it out.

It's one of these dumb nerd campaigns that will do nothing.

Consider the Google Troons that have mailed the Farms... it may take them a while because they're arguing about their girl dick.

Google is turning into SEGA, complete with foot shooting once a month.

Part of why I just blanket block ads is I don't want my computer sending requests to every janky honeypot some Romanian criminal sets up and buys an ad for. They're probably mostly harmless but as the chance of them not being gets anywhere above zero, your odds of hitting some malicious site that actively tries to fuck with your system increases.

I still didn't try it, so I don't want to come off as a shiller, but their FAQ says this:

Does AdNauseam's clicking put me at risk for malicious Ads or ransomware?

Absolutely not. AdNauseam simulates clicks on Ads by issuing an AJAX request to the adserver in a background process. This request is made without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. The text-only request is safely discarded by AdNauseam before it has a chance to execute in the browser (no DOM is constructed and no code is ever allowed to run). Further, all cookies from AdNauseam's visits are automatically blocked before they reach the browser's local storage.

As much as I liked the idea of it, AdNauseum's a bit shit and I got rid of it. None of the things people were worrying about in the thread came true, but random shit broke all the time and it got to the point where it wasn't worth it.
  • First off, it sometimes didn't actually block shit, even shit that uBlock Origin itself would block on a clean install.
  • Popups ended up being an issue on Wikia. I'd click a link and one of those browser hijacking modal tabs would pop up and I couldn't do anything about it.
  • Even though the general functionality of uBlock is supposed to still be there, when I'd use the picker tool to block a certain part of the page, when I refreshed, it came right back. Manually adding divs to my block list did nothing.
  • It fucked up the functionality of Gmail. I have Gmail in a web panel on Vivaldi, and it made the delete email button completely nonfunctional unless I scrolled down. For a tiny email, you can't scroll down. The moment I got rid of AdNauseum, the delete button worked again.
  • YouTube ads came through much of the time, completely unblocked.
  • This is more Google's fault than anything, but having to go through developer mode and finding a place to stash AdNauseum's files got more annoying every time I had to install it.
For something based off uBlock Origin, it sure didn't work like it. Again, neat idea, fucking awful execution. I'd rather just use uBlock and turn off third-party cookie tracking.

What is AdNauseam?
AdNauseam is an adblocking addon that attacks the income source of advertising companies that violate your privacy, particularly Google.
Why should I care?
Google has been involved in creating a monopoly over how online content is distributed, and censoring content it deems politically incorrect. I'm sure you all remember the manifesto incident and them firing the think tank that said monopolies like them are dangerous for democracy.

Even if you aren't concerned about Google, their influence makes them able to force third party websites off the internet i.e. the Daily Stormer.
How does it work?
It clicks ads so you don't have to. You don't view these ads and Google has to refund these ads to advertisers, eroding the trust companies have in their platform for promoting their product. Google has already shown they're scared shitless by removing it from the Chrome addon store.
How do I get it?
You can install it here:
https://adnauseam.io/
Other things you can do:
• Install Waterfox, it's like Firefox without the telementary cancer and will support the XUL framework long after Mozilla does so you can avoid webextension aids.
• Promote AdNauseam and alternative content sharing websites like Mastodon and Vidme.
• Use an alternative search engine such as ixquick or startpage.
• Limit your usage of services from companies such as Facebook or Google.
• Give Linux a try, it's gotten a lot more easy to use with a lot of alternatives for popular software minus Microsoft's telementary.

YES IT'S BASED ON UBLOCK ORIGIN

Installing AdNauseam on Vivaldi

Install AdNauseam
The following instructions are for Google Chrome (includes Vivaldi) only. For other chromium-based browsers simply download the latest .CRX file and drag into your browser window.

Manual Install in Developer Mode
  1. Download the most latest adnauseam.chromium.ZIP file from our releases page

  2. Extract the zip file to a folder somewhere that it can remain
    Warning: Do not delete this folder after the install; Chrome will disable AdNauseam if this folder is not in the expected location; (save this to C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome and extract it there)

  3. In your Chrome Browser menu, click Windows > Extensions or type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar

  4. Check the Developer mode checkbox

  5. Click the Load unpacked extension button (see image) and navigate to the folder you downloaded in step 1

  6. If you have previously exported your ads, you can retrieve them now

* Note that each time you restart Chrome you will be prompted to Disable Developer Mode Extensions. Feel free to simply hit Cancel and continue.

This is indeed annoying, as Google of course intends, however there is no workaround we are aware of at this time.

This is blindingly fast and blocks 95% bullshit. Fucking love it, swear by it and recommend it. Now enjoy Carol Saraiva.

My only real problem is that on some sites, there's so much shit getting clicked and blocked, that my browser lags the fuck out. Aside from that, real good.
